Sat 19 May - Arggh! Sick again

Damn. Woke up at 08:00 feeling awful again - cold/chest infection thingy rebound. I am bunged up, have a sore throat, nasty phlegmy chest and ache all over like flu.

Just when things were getting better. Maybe I over did it going to the gym....Anyway, dosed myself up with Lemsips and went back to bed until midday, so no breakfast. Made some hashed potatoes and fried egg at midday.Hashed Potatoes235g potatoes, boiled & diced1/2 green pepper, chopped3 cloves garlic, crushed1 teaspoon olive oilNo real recipe here; just saute the potatoes in a non stick skillet until they are just starting to get golden, then add the garlic and peppers (as they will cook faster) and continue to saute until all nicely browned.

Spray a non-stick skillet or wok with a little oil and heat. Pour in the egg and cook until set. Remove from wok and shred.

Add the garlic, carrot, mange tout and rice to the wok. Stir fry until the veggies are cooked, about 3-4 minutes. Add the prawns and continue stir frying for a further minute, until they are heated through. Finally, add the spring onions, soy sauce & oyster sauce and mix well. Garnish with200g broccoli , steamedand serve.

What's this all about, anyway?

My life with food - food thoughts, food musing, recipes, what I ate, what I bought in the market as well as occasional general rants/musings about 21st century life.

PLUS - Snap Shots of my meals!

In early 2005, I found myself seriously overweight, eating a rubbish diet and sitting on my ass most of the time.

So, I decided to try to straighten up and fly right.

I lost a lot of weight through sensible eating, started exercising again and generally started looking after myself.

I am just trying to eat a healthier diet, so I decided to log & photograph all my food. It's not about "diet" food, just trying to make good healthy choices and reduce calories & unhealthy fats where I can.
